We're home safe and sound, thanks BIG time to Hotglue and FB for hosting, and all the many MANY worker bees that make it happen! I apologize to all my friends for how distracted I was, trying to herd all the little ones, making sure they don't stick their hands on a smoker and making sure they don't annoy anyone takes a lot outta me, but I enjoyed all the lies I was able to tell anyway!
My parents and aunt and uncle that came along also had a great time. Love that we get such a diverse group together and everyone plays nice with each other.

Few pics I took, terrestrial ones first:



My troublets+1 all lined up:





Yum!







Some of the next generation:






And a few still pics I took with my new toy, the cheapie drone I brought:

















The line for food snaking around:















Between fighting the wind and trying to keep the drone outta everyone's faces I wasn't able to get the greatest shots with it but I had fun just the same. As always, it was an EXTRA large time, the whole family had a blast, and we can't begin to thank everyone that comes together to make this happen, it's the highlight of our spring!

And a final thing to share, I put a little video together with some of the footage I shot with the drone. Video editing is NOT a skill of mine, if someone is good at it and wants to play around, I've got tons of footage I shot, I could toss 'em on a Dropbox or something for ya' to get 'em and play around, but here's my pitiful little attempt at video editing:

Thanks for sharing Serk.  I haven't made the last 2 GOTF's, but I really enjoyed the ones I made it to.  BTW, Your kids are growing up fast!

For $130 including the camera, I'll admit I was pretty impressed with what it got, although I wish it'd been a tad less windy so I coulda moved it in closer but it was still fun to play with...

Thanks as always for hosting! I know it's a ton of work for ya'll, it can get pretty hectic for us bringing the whole traveling circus of kiddos down there and keeping 'em outta trouble as best we can but they LOVE it and, as I always tell the wife when something seems like it's too much work with too little pay off "We're making memories!"... and THOSE are priceless!


Side note, we realized something when looking at our pics from Sunday on the Galveston ferry... Triplets are a lot like seagulls! Notice the similarities between these two pictures:

MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!



MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!
